ConsoleServer 3200 System Lightwave Communications
Rev. A - 16 - www.lightwavecom.com
For simplicity, we will discuss the features and capabilities of the SCS3230 as if it were a new
and different system, not merely an upgrade to a ConsoleServer 3200. The SCS3230 is
designed to operate as closely to the original ConsoleServer3200 as possible from a user's
perspective, but still provide the capabilities needed for the secure server environment.
Existing 3200 customers maintain their investment and can offer enhanced security and control
for their terminal server systems. Existing users will not require retraining since all commands
and features of the SCS3230 option are the same as found in the CS3200. Even the upgrade
process accepts the existing site database for rapid deployment of the SCS3230 equipment.
2.1 Connect Up to Thirty-two RS-232C Compatible Ports
The SCS3230 is plug-compatible with any RS-232C device, DTE or DCE. These include a
variety of network servers, routers, or any other LAN/WAN computers on the network.
Connections are made by routing the device signals through the switch cards to the appropriate
user interface port.
2.2 128K FIFO Audit Trail
The SCS3230 stores the equivalent of approximately 200 screens worth of data (128K) per
device port in a true FIFO buffer for each DEVICE port. This data may be viewed 'off-line' at
any time by users accessing the device port buffer.
Should more than 128K of data be received in a buffer, the oldest data will be discarded, in the
amount of the 'overflow'. By operating in this fashion, the most recent data is collected and the
largest amount of data that can be saved will be maintained.
2.3 Connections
The system is capable of 17 simultaneous full-duplex connections to the connected devices.
The administration functions may be accessed through a local serial connection or through a
network connection. The NETWORK / CONTROL card (with a full complement of four Channel
Extender cards) supports up to 16 users connections plus one connection to the administration
functions. The NETWORK / CONTROL card also provides one TERM port (for a System
Administrator's serial Console)
The TERMINAL cards (a 3200 access card) may be used for applications requiring additional
local serial terminals. Each Terminal Card is installed in place of one of the Channel Extender
